A Ridiculous Internship
I haven’t posted in a while so I figured I’d talk about this. I always like telling this story but it’s way too long for microblogging so I’m glad I have a place I can finally post it in its entirety. So in 2017 I graduated from university. I took three months off where I […]
A Fashion Critique of Dresspheres in Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy X-2 is a weird, pop-infused sequel to Final Fantasy X, where Yuna and her gal-pals (read: poly-lesbian super squad) travel around Spira and have weird adventures that would be side-quests in any other Final Fantasy game. But none of that really matters! No, what matters most in X-2 are the Dresspheres, the Jobs […]
Embracing Failure: An Ode to Celeste
This piece contains spoilers for Celeste’s ending! I am a quitter. If you’ve known me for more than five minutes, this probably doesn’t come as a surprise. I’ve quit personal projects because I didn’t feel they were good enough. I’ve quit jobs because I thought I wasn’t good enough for them. I’ve quit classes I’ve […]
Smash Bros. Ultimate Character Thoughts
I wasn’t that excited for the new Smash Bros but ended up getting a copy. I don’t actually care that much about most of the game, but I’ve always liked comparing characters between each new release and seeing who’s good, who I used to like that sucks now, and so on. After two and a […]
Character Intro: Kat Rush
I figured I should talk about The Freelancers now and then, especially now that I’m getting into this new draft properly and have finally escaped the exposition desert. Really though I just wanna talk about Kat! I love Kat Rush. She’s not my main character – rather, she’s Coretta’s childhood friend – but she’s definitely […]
Some Games I Liked, 2018
What’s up losers, it’s time to talk about the games I liked this year. Shoutout to @spacegarbage on twitter for making the lit Mint banner, especially because I gave such useless groundwork like “uh she’d hold a Switch, I guess.” Artists are magic. Anyways, games. We like those, sometimes, right? To be honest this year […]
Cold Steel 2 is a Travesty
It’s wild, I used to delay on blog posts because I tried to make them gleam with the shine of professionalism. I had to give a primer on the pop culture I was talking about, establish some sort of thesis, pretend like I’m going to do this for anyone but myself and the six people […]
Tetris Effect
Hope you’re not here for balanced critique because holy crap y’all I love Tetris Effect. The last game I played until 3AM in one sitting before Tetris Effect is Doki Doki Literature. Rather than send me into a crisis like that game did, Tetris Effect sent me to bed feeling like I’m on Cloud 9. […]
